W Blackshaw and Swarbrick with Ruffs Kyria Kalli (X/B). Lost 7.25pts
A Terrier type who played well and had super fast sets. Handler lost most points for inadvertently using her lead (and watch the stepping in at halts). A very willing dog with a permanently waggy tail, no surprise to hear that she is already out of Beginners.

Pip did another nice round, although HF wasnt quite as good as HOL. Lost 5½ in total. 2 for HOL, 3 for HF.

Another good pre-beginner round from Pip. She lost a total of 6 in quite a tough marked class all for heelwork - her recall was clear. She was a little enthusiastic at time but certainly enjoyed herself.

She recieved another KC Pre-Beginner Obedience Award of Merit

1st - V.Blackshaw "RUFFS KYRIA KALLI" (Pet name Pippa.) XB Losing 6.

hol 2 ¾, hfree 2 ½, rec ¾. The heelwork from this little dog was a dream to watch, and also it never took it's eyes of the handler. Well Done.

She did an AMAZING round in prebeginners - no sniffing what-so-ever and she pranced around the ring like she owned it. She had a bit of a messy present in the recall but got straight in the end. 1 ½ for each heelwork and 1 3/4 for that messy present.

She recieved a second rosette for best small dog and also got another KC Pre-Beginner Obedience Award of Merit for getting under 10 points.
